EU Funds & Programmes

Portugal may open up new funding options. IPG helps structure the circuit.

For many international industrial projects, location is also a funding strategy. A Portuguese industrial presence may create access to national incentives, European programmes, collaborative defense instruments, regional funds, bank financing and insurance-backed solutions, subject to eligibility and formal approval.

IPG helps companies understand what may be possible, what must be structured, what requires a Portuguese or EU-eligible vehicle, and where LDG can coordinate or submit eligible applications on behalf of the project or as part of a wider consortium.

Important note

IPG does not promise automatic access to grants, loans, public contracts or EU funds. Every funding programme is assessed case by case, with specialised advisors and according to the rules of each programme.

Potential funding avenues to be evaluated

Portuguese investment incentives and productive investment support
Portugal 2030 and relevant regional or thematic programmes, including COMPETE 2030 where applicable
AICEP support mechanisms and investor support circuits
European Defense Fund collaborative R&D opportunities for eligible consortia
EDIP-related industrial readiness, supply chain and defense industry opportunities where applicable
SAFE-related procurement and defense readiness opportunities led by Member States, where strategically relevant
Bank financing, guarantees, insurance and project finance structures
Hybrid structures combining equity alignment, public incentives, commercial debt and strategic partnership models

NON-EU COMPANIES

For non-EU companies, IPG can help assess whether a Portuguese industrial presence, local substance, eligible corporate structure, LDG-led submission, consortium participation or Portuguese/EU operating circuit may create access to relevant programmes. Eligibility, control, ownership, security, export-control and governance requirements must always be analysed in detail.
